I ate like a total asshole this weekend, but I had a hella good time 🤩
.
Does that mean that I'm throwing in the towel & saying "screw it! Diets & exercise don't work for me."
.
Of course not - that would be the dumbest thing I could do.
.
For 1, I don't diet - I actually really, really hate that word. I'm living a healthy lifestyle. One where I choose to eat healthy more than I don't. One where I choose to exercise more days than I take off.
.
These two things make me feel my best. .
So when I have a fun weekend full of friends, drinks & amazing food - I enjoy the hell out of it because this is all part of my healthy balance. I don't beat myself up over it.
.
And you shouldn't either. Live your life. Fuel & move your body to feel amazing every single day - and when life happens & you go a little off the rails, enjoy every minute of it. .
You're not alone girlfriend 😘

Insane stacks for shredding! Who’s trying to shred down for the spring?

Let’s talk about insulin and what happens when there’s too much of it in our system 🍩😬...
.
Insulin is the hormone released from our pancreas when blood glucose levels rise (and also some amino acids), and facilitates the uptake of glucose from the blood and into our cells. When ample glucose is available, there is no need for the body to make ketones, and in fact insulin is the hormone that suppresses ketone production. However, if we reduce insulin levels through carbohydrate restriction, fasting, or calorie restriction, ketone production (ketogenesis) is able to take place. Whether your goal is to enter ketosis or not, chronically over elevated circulating glucose and insulin, otherwise known as hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, respectively, are common underlying links to various metabolic diseases, even neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Overexposure to insulin can result in something called insulin resistance, where the body no longer responds to insulin properly and as a consequence releases more creating a vicious cycle, potentially leading to Type-2 Diabetes, along with other metabolic diseases. Some doctors even refer to Alzheimer’s Disease as Type-3 Diabetes, due to its strong link to insulin resistance. The ketogenic diet has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and many of the symptoms associated with insulin resistance, which has a broad spectrum impact on overall health.

Okay so this is not a pretty plate of food 😆 BUT that crispy chicken skin is too good to not tell you about it.
.
I cook a whole chicken once every week or two because A) it’s easy. B) leftovers. And C) the crispy skin is like chips!
.
I peeled some of the leftover skin off, cooked it over medium heat in some tallow (ghee is good too) in a cast iron skillet for a couple minutes per side or until it’s a nice golden brown.
.
The rest of that mess is just some leftover roasted veggies and the actual chicken meat. .
Anyone else like to re-crisp leftover chicken skin?? If not, dooooo it and thank me later.

Bacon wrapped Chuck filet and roasted radishes-Yum! Not pictured is a spoonful of sour cream on those radishes 🤤
Super simple dinner and super delicious

When I started this account January 4 of last year it was solely because one of my very good friends and husband encouraged me to. I was taking pictures of all my food anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️. But I never imagined people would actually care so much or be so supportive. I have gotten this far because there are surely several of you who constantly encourage me, give me shoutouts and just have been so truly awesome! Friendships that have developed are true and real through almost daily dm’s. Messages that lifted me up when we lost our dogs, give me encouragement and motivation when I most need it and make me smile by sharing silly memes or even pics of your doggies. I admittedly am not as active on here like getting through my feed as I should be but my first priorities are mom and wife and we all know how consuming social media can be. Then throw in work, working out and life and time just flies by. I do enjoy posting lots of stories though 😜. One thing about me is I promise to answer a DM, a question or simply acknowledge a comment on my posts. That is sincerely who I am as well as being raw, honest and positive. The accounts that I’m attracted to, it is relevant they sincerely care about their followers. I thank each and every one of my followers for their support. It is very humbling and appreciated! I love taking this journey with all of you! Just regular people trying to better ourselves and our health day by day. By the time I actually write all this out I may drop below 1600 again 😂😂. Lastly, I just wanted to point out a few amazing accounts who have single handedly helped me by believing in me and have helped me to gain followers throughout the year. Their constant supports speaks volumes and I hope they know it doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️. @heartstringsketo@keto.against.cancer@ketoinspanglish@frankly_keto@elis_anders@mrsbarkanic@cass.and.keto@jillonajourney@drivenandobsessed@donnap29@eatloveworkout@grateful_and_always_be_happy@bronc787@ketocarpenter .

KETO MACROS by @fastandswole
-
What are the right macros for keto? How much fat? How much protein is too much? Net carbs?
-
All your questions are answered in this straightforward keto macro guide below!
-
Here are the RIGHT macros that you want to follow for the strict ketogenic diet.
-
75% Fat
This fat should come from varied fat sources like coconut and olive oil, butters, avocados, nuts, eggs. Your body is now running off fats and not carbs so you will need plenty to function and feel good on keto. If you fail to get enough fat your body won’t be running off ketones and will still be trying to run off carbs. This will put your body in limbo between fuel sources which will make you feel like crap! So make sure to get those fats in your diet!
-
20-25% Protein
As a general rule of thumb 20% of your diet should be coming from protein. Now if you are aiming to build muscle while on the ketogenic diet than you may be closer to 25% because your body has HIGHER demands for protein for muscle building and recovery. If you are not resistance training or trying to build muscle, then you should stick to the 20%.
-
5% or Less from Carbs
The ketogenic diet is a HIGH FAT diet, since our body is running off ketones you will want to limit your carbohydrate intake since you don’t want to be kicked out of ketosis. BUT you can subtract your dietary fiber intake from your total carbohydrate intake. This is called your net carbs. This is because the carbs from dietary fiber isn’t actually used for energy like regular carbohydrates. Dietary fiber is important because it keeps things “moving” in our digestive system if you know what I mean.
